What are your food without brakes?
Food that you have no self control with, whether they're healthy or unhealthy them overall, once it's there you can't help but eat until it's no longer there. And how do you successfully avoid or moderate them?
One of mine is nuts - especially pistachio or macadamia nuts. I think that nuts can be a healthy part of your diet, but unfortunately, if I have a 1 kilo bag of nuts, I will eat them all in one sitting.
Also soft cheeses, like camembert or brie... le sigh.
I try not to buy them, and only eat them when someone else is moderating the serving size.

Apricots. So if I buy them, it's just one or two.0

nothing really.....
....... been known to have a second helping of popcorn from time to time.1 -
So many things. I have issues. But some major ones: small crackers and cookies, anything peanut butter, tortilla chips
ETA: I don't have them in the house. I go crazy at a party or outing and have to deal with the outcome all the time. For me that is actually a painful physical reaction I get when I eat too many carbs.1 -
Pastries of all varieties0

Mine is definitely tortilla chips and hummus!!! I have started not buying them and switching from chips to carrots and hummus. So hard when the cravings kick in! Good luck on your journey!!0

Coca-cola. After getting off of it, I no longer crave it as much, but it's still almost physically painful to drive by the corner where I used to stop for a Coke icee.0

My foods without brakes are chocolate, candy, cookies, cake, chips, ice cream.I try not to buy them, and only eat them when someone else is moderating the serving size.
I also eat a wide variety of the enjoyable foods I CAN eat to satiety, which is almost every whole food on the planet.
This is not about being restricted, it's about being smart and living a good life0 -
Candy, especially gummy candy. If I buy a bag, it will get eaten in one sitting. I lack any ability whatsoever to moderate it.0

Anything Peanut buttery.
Cereal
Nuts
Chips
popcorn0 -
For me it's ice cream or peanut butter.0

Plain potato chips. I buy the small, single serve packs. If there's a big bag, I'm probably going to eat the whole thing.0

Not too much anymore, I've been working on it. Nuts and cheese are ones that I have managed to gain control over.
Chocolate covered nuts and good caramel corn (which I only have when this one client gives it to us at my office) are two that I still struggle with.
Tortilla chips + guac if we have it on the table at a Mexican place, but that's rare enough that I don't worry about it.0 -
Table chips at any Mexican restaurant. Chips in general.0

That Angie's kettle corn in the lilac bag from Costco. I can kill a bag of that (practically as big as I am) in like two days, it's bad news.0
-
Anything given "free" on the table at restaurants...chips, bread, etc. Otherwise, I seem to do ok with stuff in my house.1

Ice cream for Me, I can't have half a cup like normal people. I want my bowl to have a mountain of chocolate ice cream in there lol. I try not to have it in the house, that really helps me1

I bought this bag of cheddar and caramel popcorn from Sams Club. I had this brilliant idea of portioning it into snack size bags. I ate them all in 2 days. And it was a huge bulk size bag. I don't even remember how many ounces but a lot.
Also I discovered at a Super Bowl party that I have no resistance to Nestle toll House cookies.0 -
Nachos.
Anything with tortilla chips.0 -

It's not the food, it's the short circuit in the brain. You can retrain your brain to stop.
